SLEEPY SONG.

Sleep a little O Diarmid, Diarmid,

Sleep in the deep lone cave;

Sleep a little — a little little,

Love whom my love I gave —

Wearily falls O Diarmid, Diarmid,

Wearily falls the wave.

Sleep a little, O Diarmid, Diarmid,

Sleep, and have never a fear;

Sleep a little — a little little,

Love whom I love so dear —

A weary wind, O Diarmid, Diarmid,

A weary wind I hear.

Sleep a little, O Diarmid, Diarmid,

Sleep, while I watch till you wake;

Sleep a little — a little little,

Love whom I'll ne'er forsake —

Sleep a little, and blessings on you

My lamb, or my heart will break.
